Save the Date: St. James Foundation Golf Outing

/in /by

Please save the date for the 25th Annual Saint James School Foundation Golf Classic & Dinner which will be held on Wednesday, May 8th at Manchester Country Club.

The Saint James School Foundation is a privately run endowment fund providing over $100,000 each year to Saint James School in support of our financial aid program, ongoing technology upgrades, and our school’s Margin of Excellence programs. Last year, the foundation donated over $150,000 to Saint James School!  Each year, the Foundation holds a golf tournament and dinner in support of their mission.

This annual event is a lot of fun with a great mixture of current SJS parents, former SJS parents, and SJS alumni.  You can sign up as a foursome, a single, or just come for the dinner!  Sponsorship and registration information can be found HERE.

Pre-K Open House on Saturday

/in /by

This Saturday, February 2nd, Saint James School will be hosting a “Drop-In” Open House at our Pre-K facility between the hours of 10:00am – 12:00pm.  Please help us spread the word to any families you may know that may be interested.

Any current SJS families with a child that will be entering our Pre-K program next year are also welcome to attend.

Please note, we are expanding our Pre-K 3-year-old program beginning next year by adding a 5-day morning class and a 5-day full-day (8am – 2pm) class.  Space for these additional pre-k3 programs is very limited and first preference will be given to current SJS families based on first-come basis (with completed 2019-2020 paperwork). Students must be fully potty trained (even through nap time) to attend our Pre-K3 and 4 programs.
